(Submission #122)

Abstract

This poster describes the preliminary results of an ongoing investigation aimed at understanding individuals’ motivations and behaviour when using a social tagging model to manage (acquire, organize, maintain, and retrieve) their personal and social information space. In the remainder of this paper, we will discuss our study, its context, methodology, and report the preliminary results of our observations.
